If you think making a boxed cake is tricky, try making a three-tier wedding cake with sugar orchids. Too difficult? Not for Mari Smith. On this episode of Punch out with Katie and Kerry, we talk with Mari Smith about her baking roots and what she learned from her dad, what role music has played in her life, and if photography is in her future. Mari Smith is a keynote speaker, brand evangelist, best selling author, Facebook trainer, social media evangelist, and “Queen of Facebook.”

In this episode we learned:

• About Mari’s journey from Canada to Scotland to Southern California
• The most challenging cake she ever tackled
• If Mari really eats haggis
• Why she took singing lessons
• What instrument Mari played as a child
